I could not believe how easy this was!

1.  Set up an ODBC link to your MySQL database.

2.  In MS Access, right-click on the (source) table – ‘Export’ – ‘ODBC Database’ – and choose ‘Machine Data Source’ – select your Data Source Name – OK!

Export to Mysql via ODBC

Thats it!

Sure, it takes time to load (around 20 lines per second – depending (mostly) on your connection speed) – so only use for small tables – but still very convenient!

If you need to do larger tables – rather Export to Text or Excel (and save as .csv) – and use LOAD INFILE – but be prepared to change (among other things) the date format.
